Any experience of uterine polyps?

[pimskie]

After bleeding in between periods for several months my GP referred me for an ultrasound scan. The sonographer said she could see 'echoes' in my womb lining, possibly a fybroid or polyp.
Has anybody else had anything like this and what did your GP do?

D&C

Yes, I had a teeny uterine polyp, visible on ultrasound. I saw a gynae, who performed a D&C on the basis that a tiny percentage of polyps, if left untreated, can become cancerous in the long term.

The thing fell off of its own accord just before they could get to it - cue some very red faces when I came round from the anaesthetic, and no biopsy. I had a follow up u/s six months later, and it was fine - no problems since.

They are very common - as are fibroids - and very treatable, so try not to worry!

thanks, that's reassuring!
